The general plan of the book follows that of the second edition, but the opportunity has been taken to bring the book up to date and to take account of advances in knowledge and of new reactions which have come into use since publication of the earlier editions.
Demonstrates the wide scope of cycloaddition reactions, including the Diels-Alder reaction, the ene reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and [2+2] cycloadditions in organic synthesis. The author, a leading exponent of the subject, illustrates the ways in which they can be employed in the synthesis of a wide range of carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds, including a variety of natural products of various types. Special attention is given to intramolecular reactions, which often provide a rapid and efficient route to polycyclic compounds, and to the stereochemistry of the reactions, including recent and developing work on enantioselective synthesis.
Profiles the work of six individuals who made important contributions to the field of geology: James Hutton, Charles Lyell, G.K. Gilbert, Alfred Wegener, Harry Hess, and Gene Shoemaker.

Our Government is a Social Studies book designed to help young New Zealanders to understand how systems of Government are organised and affect people's lives. Students will become familiar with what a Government is and what it does. They will gain knowledge about the system of Government we have in New Zealand, its origins, how it operates and how it compares with other systems of Government. They will also be introduced to some of the rights and responsibilities we have as members of society. The approach is investigative. Resources and activities work together to provide a framework in which the process of learning is as important as the end-content.
